Hello! My name is MissBlackRock. To those who remember me, greetings, and welcome back. It's been a very long time since I have written something for this game. I was busy with writing a story for another game. Now that I'm finished with that story and I have some free time… I want go back to this game and give it a go. The game I've been writing for has to do with realistic combat, so it's been a solid second since I've written fight scenes with superpowers and other fantasy related stuff.
Anyways, this is a collection of random fighting sequences I wanted to write for no apparent reason. To returning readers, this story takes place in the same universe as "Nemesis Vs Raijin – TROTC". To new readers or people just stopping by to read something cool, don't even worry about it.
(Disclaimer: The power of the Gods depicted in this story are not completely identical to the ones seen in the game. Though they share resemblance, the abilities of the featured deities have been dramatized in order to make this more fun to read. Thank you.)
Smite – Sparring Match 1
Faraway from any sort of city, town, or village, the vast and wide wastelands of Earth were out to explore. Where the air smelled fresh, where wind always seemed to blow, where the skies were usually clear, and where nature remained mostly untouched by all of mankind. Forests, deserts, savannas, mountain ranges, swamps, oceans, tundras, plateaus, and rocky wastelands were laid out all over the world, most of it empty and pristine.
Outside of the boundaries of a city, where the rules of an AFA, or an Authorized Fighting Area, didn't apply to supernatural beings, those with powers were free to exercise their abilities without breaking any laws. The Arena, which were the Official Battlegrounds of the Gods, was a place where humans could come watch their deities compete against one another for sport and competition. The Arena was by far the number one source of entertainment. There was nothing more awe-inspiring than watching multiple great Gods of different Pantheons clash in all out battle.
But occasionally, the Gods didn't wish to be watched, recorded, judged, and bet on by millions of humans that simply yelled at the top of their lungs in the bleachers of ginormous artificial Arenas, stuffing their faces with popcorn and chugging down cans of soda pop while watching the matches. Sure, participating in The Arena's tournaments was one of the many pleasures that the Gods could exercise. In exchange for respect and offerings, the Gods gave back to the humans by providing entertainment that befitted both sides: The mortals and immortals.
Outside of The Arena, outside of any AFA, and thousands of miles away from any nearby civilization of humans, stood three Gods. The skies above were cloudy with an oncoming storm, the gray clouds occasionally flashed with powerful lightning being charged up from deep within their cores. The wind was blowing a little harder than usual, and the air felt heavy and tense. A hard, rocky ground lay beneath their feet. Nearby mountains and plateaus spotted the horizon and cast shadows over the wide valley. Not too far away, the sound of the ocean's waves could be heard. The tide was beginning to come in at this time, and the gentle splashing of the waves filled the area.
Bunches of round and spiked rocks alike spotted the deeper areas of the water, where aquatic mammals such as seals watched farther away from the coastline. There was no sand, just water making direct contact with slowly deteriorating rock. Due to being farther up north, ice and snow could be seen up on the mountain tops and near the edges of the rock's edges. The wind had a bit of a frigid touch to it, a touch that could easily cause one to let out a shiver or two without proper protection. Countering this cold, solemn feeling, one corner of the valley's flatland felt warmer than the rest. The air felt warm and cozy, its light breeze could give one goosebumps that didn't mix well with the natural colder air in the area.
The three Gods stood far from one another. All of them faced inward, towards each other. They stood at equal distances away, and at far corners of the circular valley they had managed to locate. The rocky, mountainous terrain that stood to one side, and the blue, cold ocean that stood adjacent. Plateaus and rocky hills surrounded the area too. The cold air continued to blow, the ocean's waves continued to crash against the rocks, and the storm clouds still loomed above the sky. The first deity took a step forward. Her figure was young and lean, her body not necessarily well dressed for the cool weather of the valley. She held her double ended spear in one hand, her other hand simply planted itself on her hip. She grinned at the two other Gods, her cyan eyes glistened in the light of the distant sun behind the clouds.
"Isn't this nice? I honestly feel like I'm really going to enjoy this little sparring match." The Goddess smiled.
The second deity took a step forward, his golden soles resting heavily upon the stone ground. His golden hair flapped gently in the wind. His powerful figure and strong body stood proudly at his end of the valley. He chuckled lightly as he looked to the Goddess who had first spoken.
"I feel the exact same way, Morri. Even though I personally get lost in it sometimes, it feels nice to not constantly be hearing the cheering crowds of The Arena. I could honestly get used to this."
The Goddess scowled momentarily, before shaking her head. "What did I tell you about calling me 'Morri'. It's 'The Morrigan' to you. Remember that."
The God scoffed, laughing quietly as he ran his hand through his hair. In his other hand, a mythical hammer sparked with electricity. "Alright, alright. Whatever. It's not like anyone ever actually calls you by your full name. Plus, Morri is cute, and you know it."
As The Morrigan was about to respond, the third deity interrupted the interaction with a giggle. The warm air in the area began to expand as she began to move around. She flowed like water, despise it being her least favorite thing in the world. Her curves and fiery skin could blind anyone if they stared at her for long enough. Though who could blame them, for Sol's body was one no one could resist without checking it out at least once. Though the complication of her literal hot essence gets in the way of her beauty.
"Thor has a point, Morrigan! I think it's cute too. You should really think about embracing it." The Sun Goddess winked. The Morrigan shook her head in response, groaning softly as she dug her face behind her hands. She could hear Thor and Sol laughing in the distance.
"Ugh! Both of you better take this match seriously, cause you two really got me all fired up…" The Morrigan growled, opening her hand and shrouding it in purple magic.
Sol and Thor both grinned at the eager Goddess, easily detecting that her intentions were ones of competitive spirit and not actual malice. Thor took a step back and began to spin his hammer. He spun it faster and faster, until it was a simple blur that could be seen sparking in circles.
"A good old-fashioned sparring match! So, any rules?" Thor asked, glancing between the two Goddesses before him.
Sol clutched both of her fists at her sides, bringing them up and engulfing them with hot flames. As her arms grew in temperature, the brighter they became. She shook her head, grinning with excitement.
"No holding back. All three of us, full power, all abilities allowed, no healing items, and any type of fighting goes. I'm taking advantage of this. We finally get to let loose without the pesky rules of The Arena holding us back."
The Morrigan nodded her head, taking a step back and breathing deeply through her nose. "Indeed. I am quite eager to begin. But of course, just because we're going all out doesn't mean we have to kill one another. As soon as one of us is unable to fight and can no longer continue, they're out. I brought healing pots for after the match. The winner can help out the two losers." She explained.
Sol flew up into the air, laughing. "I can't wait to be pouring those healing pots into the mouths of you two! Cause there ain't no way I'm losing this spar."
Thor crouched down low, eyeing the storm clouds above. "We'll see about that. Don't get too cocky, or Nemesis will come along and chop your block off."
The Morrigan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. All three gods grinned at one another as the tension the air grew. For the last time, the three Gods took in their surroundings and analyzed one another, coming up with split second battle plans. Thor grit his teeth with vigor, Sol trembled with giddiness, and the Morrigan grinned with a thrilling feeling of hype. The three Gods looked up, eyeing a storm cloud above. The electricity flashed, the cloud roared, and as soon as the bright lightning bolt hit the ground in front of them, the three Gods let out yells of battle.
"Here we go!" Thor huffed as he took to the skies with his hammer. The two other Goddesses watched as the Thunder God disappeared into the clouds. The Morrigan lunged forward, her spear and hand shrouded in dark magic. Sol laughed as she flew backwards, preparing for her enemy's attacks.
"Come here!"
"Bring it on!"
Using her spear, The Morrigan slashed towards Sol's torso, the Sun Goddess easily dodging it. The Morrigan continued to attack Sol with her magic, failing every attack. The Sun Goddess saw a split-second opening and took full advantage. She fired a quick burst of fire at her opponent, who quickly dashed to the side and dodged it, the hot fire blackening the stone ground where it hit. Sol powered up her fiery fists and began to strike back. The Morrigan couldn't afford to get hit with a direct punch, so she quickly took the defensive stance. She dodged to the right, to the left, she took a step back and watched as Sol wound up an uppercut.
"Hyup!" The Morrigan grunted as she gracefully backflipped away from the blow, Sol's fist stuck in the air with shock. The Phantom Queen attempted to rush forward and retaliate, but Sol was too fast to recover. She jumped over a blast of fire and bashed a fiery fist away from her face using her spear. Finally seeing another opening, The Morrigan shot her hand forward, firing two quick shots of magic at Sol, who deflected them using her own fire.
"You're open!" Sol cheered, shooting her fiery fist forward at an amazing speed. The Morrigan grunted as she set her spear out in front of her, blocking the hit. Purple magic and fiery embers sparked everywhere, a strong shockwave rang out from the impact of the colliding Goddesses. Sol pulled her arm back and flew back, firing herself away from her enemy by using a recoiling blast of fire. The Morrigan fell onto one knee and shielded her body with her magic covered arms. She felt as Sol's powerful flames barely missed her skin, her own magic weakening with its intense heat.
"I'm getting more serious now!" The Morrigan yelled. Sol put her fists up as two of the Morrigan's clones launched themselves at her, attempting to jab and kick her with limbs of dark magic. Sol simultaneously dodged both clones' attacks, before cutting one in half with a flaming chop. The second clone looked up and was quickly destroyed by a follow-up blast of fire. Sol turned around to see more clones rushing forward. She watched one launch itself over her head, twisting and turning in the air. It set both of its hands out and fired rapid-fire blasts of magic. Sol deflected the blasts, sending them to the surrounding rocky walls of the valley, causing small explosions with each deflect.
"Ghah! Huh—" Sol yelped as she watched the clone land in front of her. As she prepared to attack it, a second new clone charged her with a claw of raw magic. Sol panicked, blocking the blow with her forearm. The first clone began to slash fiercely at Sol, the second one firing sparks of magic. Sol began to lose ground as she stepped back, struggling to block and deflect the flurry of lightning fast attacks.
"Faster! Let's go!" The Morrigan laughed, clutching her fists and increasing the strength of her clones by amplifying the strength of her magic.
Sol felt as a clone's painful kick struck her in the chest. She let out a small cry as she flew back, only to receive a sharp jab of magic from another clone to her back, knocking her forward again. Sol quickly launched a blast of fire underneath her forearm, hiding its true direction, and disintegrating one of the clones. Two more continued to attack her, but the Sun Goddess began to catch on. She launched her leg in a back-kick and sliced straight through a second clone. She then turned to the last clone and blocked its kick.
"Die!" Sol yelled at the clone, before hearing the Morrigan snap her fingers. The Sun Goddess watched as the clone backflipped away, and before even managing to touch down, launched back at her with the help of a new clone that threw it back in her direction. The clone wound up a powerful kick, which Sol managed to block. A third clone appeared to Sol's left, and two clones stood in front of her. The Sun Goddess, with a frustrated grunt, took to the offensive. She planted her foot into the stone ground and flew towards the clone to her left, punching clean through it. She kicked off the wall and flew to a second, crushing it with a fiery ground-pound that caused an eruption of fire to annihilate the clone. Sol huffed as she flew into the air and kicked the head off of the final clone, before turning to the Morrigan, panting.
"More clones or what?" Sol asked, gasping for air.
"You know it—"
Before the Morrigan could even answer, in the blink of an eye and a sudden burst of speed, Sol appeared right in front of the Phantom Queen, placed her palm mere inched away from her face, and sent her launching back with a beam of fire.
"GAHH! Hrah… Kyah!" The Morrigan grunted as she summoned two clones behind herself. The two clones charged at the wall and kicked off it, flying towards their master and throwing her directly at Sol. The Morrigan shot through the air, a shockwave exploding in a ring behind her from the speed. Shooting her fist forward, Sol and the Morrigan clashed. A huge explosion of dust erupted around the two Goddesses as they collided. The Phantom Queen launched a strong kick at the Sun Goddess, which was parried.
"Bad move, Morri!" Sol laughed as she kicked her right left outwards, sweeping the Morrigan off her feet and causing her to fall on her back. Sol stomped on the ground, launching the Morrigan up into the air with a geyser of fire from below the ground. The Sun Goddess flashed above her opponent and slammed her into the ground, the Morrigan releasing a cry of sharp pain as she cracked into the ground. The two clones the Morrigan had summoned before rushed to help, but failed to do so effectively. Sol launched into the air and slammed into the floor, thrusting her fist into the floor and sending out a wave of strong fire, killing both clones. Sol then turned to the Morrigan, who was still recovering from the last attack she took. The Sun Goddess took advantage and sparked behind the other Goddess, punching her in the back, launching her forward. Sol huffed with effort as she increased her speed once again, teleporting in front of the Morrigan and kicking her straight in the chest.
"CAUGH!" The Morrigan gasped out, saliva spattering out from her mouth as the wind was knocked straight out of her body by the kick. She flew back, crashing and rolling on the ground. Sol took a deep breath and paused, watching as the Morrigan slowly stood back up, her eyes flashing with power.
"You've got more in you, show me!" Sol yelled.
The Phantom Queen grit her teeth as she dropped her spear and let out a yell of power. A purple aura of deep energy erupted around the Goddess as the ground began to quake and the wind began to blow harder. Sol felt as her opponent's power grew. Her heart began to beat a little faster as it began to get uncomfortably close to her level of effort. With a loud shut of the jaw, the Morrigan launched forward, front flipping through the air, her arms arched at her sides. Sol reacted quickly, setting her hands out in front of her and blasting a huge beam of fire. The other Goddess flew over it, set her hand out, and began to fire large blasts of dark energy at her fiery opponent. With grunts of effort and panic, Sol deflected the blasts with her fiery fists. She looked up to see a sphere of energy to powerful to deflect, so she was forced to jump over it. A huge explosion went off below the Sun Goddess as it made impact with the ground.
"Holy shit… She got serious!" Sol exhaled, watching as the Morrigan shot forward with amazing speed. Sol watched as the Morrigan flew up at her, her fist wound up for a charged jab. With a loud yelp, Sol dodged the blow and watched as the Morrigan's fist shot a huge burst of wind and force out through the air. The Sun Goddess cried out and slammed her fist down on her opponent's spine, managing to ground her.
"Ghah! Ggh… Come back down—Wha…"
As the Morrigan looked back up, she saw Sol's bright palms facing her up in the sky. The fiery blast came quickly and with amazing force. The thick laser of concentrated fire drilled the Phantom Queen into the ground, the Sun Goddess yelling as she fired the beam from her quivering hands. Suddenly, a powerful kick struck Sol in the throat. A shockwave of pure force shot out from Sol's body as she flew back and crashed into the rocky walls of a nearby plateau, her body causing a huge explosion of fire, smoke, and rock as she made impact. The Morrigan's clone responsible for the powerful kick jumped down into a charred crater and helped its master back up to her feet. As the two identical looking Morrigan's slowly floated up from the burnt hole in the ground, they turned to look at the settling dust of Sol's explosion.
"Ah…Ugh…Kah…" Sol coughed and groaned as she ripped her own body loose of the deep hole she was dug into. She limped forward and fell onto all fours, holding her throat. She looked up with a look of anger in her bright eyes. She got up onto one knee and fired a thin laser of fire from her fingertip, shooting the clone straight through the forehead and killing it. The two panting Goddesses glared at one another, and at the same time, released yells of power. Auras of igneous fire and powerful energy shot up around the bodies of Sol and the Morrigan respectfully. The two launched at one another, leaving traces of their afterimages behind them from their amazing speed. Right as they were about to clash, they could feel a level of energy so high, it stopped the two in their tracks. They looked up into the sky and spotted a flash of lightning about to strike. Only both knew it wasn't lightning, and that it was something much worse.
The entire time, Thor had been up in the storm clouds, allowing endless bolts of lightning to strike his body, furthering the limit of his maximum energy. With his hammer out in front of him, his mouth wide open, fueling a strong yell, he shot through the sky after splicing a large circle in the cloud he blasted out from. His incoming charge sent both Goddesses crashing into one another. For a split second, the Morrigan and Sol headbutt, both releasing short cries of pain. The two scrambled away from one another but were interrupted by a devastating attack of brute force and overwhelming power. Sol was sent flying into a nearby mountain, causing a huge explosion as she collided with it. The Morrigan shot through the air, colliding with the ground multiple times, cracking and shattering small holes of impact into it before splashing into the ocean. Thor stood up proud and looked around, completely clueless.
"W-What. Did I—Um. Well, okay then. I'll take it!" He laughed, holding his iron gut and clutching his hammer tightly. He laughed for a short while longer before taking a few deep breaths of recovery. He glanced up at the mountain top that Sol had crashed into, watching as the distant cloud of debris slowly began to clear. He then craned his neck to look at the ocean, whose tides were still gently splashing up against the rocks. There was no sign of either opposing Goddess, and Thor began to think he had ended the fight with a single definitive blow. It wasn't until he felt two flaring energy levels sparking up from either side of him, both of which were rising in power by the second. Thor's lips slowly curved into a wide grin, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
"Hah… Good to see they're not done just yet." He snickered. Suddenly, he let out a happy grunt as both Sol and the Morrigan sent powerful beams of energy at the Thunder God. He dropped his hammer an set his two arms out on either sides of his body and brought the two beams to a complete halt. With a short grunt, he cancelled them out with a shock of lightning, causing two small smoke explosions at his left and right. A mere second after, the two Goddesses shot their fists forward, Thor catching them in the center of his palms. He laughed as he slammed the two deities together and launched both in opposite directions. Sol recovered in midair and panted desperately, while the Morrigan slammed into the ground and rolled to a stop.
"Nice attempt at a double team!" Thor taunted, picking up his hammer. The Morrigan slowly dragged herself onto her feet, holding her head in pain.
"Ugh… I'm not done just yet!" She yelled, clutching her fists and calling back her magical aura. Sol floated in the air, filled with anticipation.
"Well, I don't need Morri to take you on, Thor!" Sol said boastfully, surrounding herself in a sphere of fire. Thor waved his hair around and grinned.
"Then show me!"
The Morrigan growled quietly under her breath. "You got me wet, you bastard! You're mine!"
Thor took to the offensive first. He launched at Sol, his foot out to kick her. The Sun Goddess blocked the attack with both of her forearms; Thor launched backwards, twirling in the air straight towards Morrigan, who had summoned a clone to assist her. Thor dodged a strike from the clone and went straight for the Goddess herself. He raised his hammer in the air and swung with pure power, Morrigan ducking underneath the missed attack and moving to counter, but failed as the Thunder God landed a strong kick that connected with her cheek. The Morrigan flew to the side, sliding to a rough stop on the stone ground. Thor turned to the clone and sent it into the air with a single blow of his hammer. Sol watched as Thor raised his hammer, causing the clone to explode with a powerful explosion of blue electricity.
"Wow…" Sol whispered to herself in awe. Just then, she sensed a faint energy behind her. She turned to see the Morrigan preparing for a sneak attack.
"You got distracted!" The Morrigan cackled, thrusting her spear forward.
"Not true!" Sol shot back, dodging the spear strike and turning to jab the other Goddess in the face. But before she could, the Sun Goddess sensed a presence behind her. Without turning around, she reached back and grabbed onto the neck of a clone, and launched it over her shoulder. The Morrigan jumped back, watching as her clone was destroyed mere inches before her. Before she could react, Sol zipped forward and seized her by the throat. The Morrigan clawed at Sol's hands, gagging and squirming in her fiery grasp.
"Enough of your clones!" Sol grunted as she slammed the Morrigan into the ground with all her strength. The ground cracked and fractured as the Phantom Queen erupted with a cloud of dust upon direct impact. Sol didn't let go, and lifted the debilitated Morrigan back into the air again, this time throwing her with a burst of energy. A shockwave of wind surged through the air as the Morrigan smashed into a nearby mountain. Thor was busy dealing with more clones. He angrily smashed and clobbered his way through them. He turned to Sol and narrowed his eyes with the intention of attacking but was interrupted by more clones. He charged forward, sweeping one of its feet and stomping its head clean off, gut punching straight through a second, kicking the head off a third, breaking the spine of a fourth, discharging seventeen billion volts of energy into a fifth, using a sixth as jumping board to kick a seventh, then going back to kick a hole through the stomach of the sixth. He spun around, ready to attack what he thought was an eighth clone, but he thought wrong. As he slammed his hammer into the so called "clone", he gasped with surprise as he realized it was the real Morrigan. He recovered quickly though and jumped up into the air. The Morrigan summoned another clone right under where Thor was going to land, but the Thunder God saw straight through the attack. He stomped onto the clone's head, caved its neck in, and jump off it back towards the original Morrigan. As he hurdled towards his target, he suddenly felt himself fall to the floor. He felt weak and exhausted, despite not taking any major damage.
"What the… What the hell is happening? I… Why do I feel so… Sluggish?!" Thor questioned aloud. He looked up to see the Morrigan laughing. The Phantom Queen hummed to herself, looking at Thor with a look of mischief.
"That clone was special. I cast a spell on it. I made it so whatever touches its physical form has its energy instantly split in half. That's why you feel so weak right now." The Morrigan giggled, preparing to charge the now halved Thunder God. But before she could, she felt a sudden rush of heat heading straight for her. She dove to the left, barely dodging a huge blast of fire Sol had sent forth.
"Dirty move, Morrigan! I thought we were supposed to give this fight our all!" The Sun Goddess yelled. The Phantom Queen shook her head, biting her lip.
"You said anything goes. I'm merely using my techniques! Plus, Thor's energy level was already through the roof after charging up for so long. We needed this handicap. So be grateful and take it!" The Morrigan snapped, before rushing towards Thor. She prepared to thrust her spear into him but was interrupted by a shock of lightning. She staggered backwards, electricity spreading across her chest. She began to panic as she watched Thor blink behind her and fire a second blast of lightning that hit her in the back this time, causing the lightning to violently spark throughout her entire body. She turned around and swung at the Thunder God but failed. Thor then kicked the Phantom Queen into the air, zoomed up past her, then sent her into the ground with a powerful ground pound. He watched as the Morrigan made a crater from the fall. As she stood up, the lightning began to grow brighter. She looked up at Thor with a look of terror in her eyes.
"THOR! NOO—"
With a huge, earth-shattering explosion, Thor's electricity spontaneously detonated directly onto the Phantom Queen. Sol and Thor stood staring, waiting to see if the other Goddess was still standing. After the dust cleared, both Gods grew wracked with shock as the Morrigan was nowhere to be seen within the huge crater. Sol slowly hovered forward, looking around with worry.
"Wh…Where did she go…? I don't sense her energy anywhere—"
"Sol, look out!" Thor suddenly yelled out.
Moving faster than any eye could see, the Morrigan thrust a sphere of pure energy into Sol's chest. A ring-shaped shockwave of pure heat shot out from the two Goddesses as the attack made direct impact. The Morrigan and Thor were sent flying back, both sliding onto the ground and skidding to a stop. Sol stood panting, her chest radiating with pure black smoke, which meant that she had taken heavy damage. She looked up at her two other opponents, trying to suppress her quiet grunts of pain.
"Thor…" Sol winced.
The Thunder God flinched, caught off guard that the Sun Goddess had recovered so quickly. "What."
"Don't try to help an enemy, you fool!"
Sol aimed her hand in Thor's direction, quickly firing a gargantuan blast of fire. The size of the attack brightened up the entire area with a blinding light and filled the valley with a deep heat. The Morrigan rushed forward, her hand out to fire a blast of energy. She suddenly came to a stop when a fiery flash caught her eye. Before she knew it, she was being forced backwards, engulfed by a huge blast of fire. The Phantom Queen and Thunder God scrambled and stumbled back onto their feet, dripping with sweat and panting with both panic and exhaustion. Their bodies were emitting smoke from Sol's flames, their clothes and armor were charred and tears of it were burnt off. Without any proper time to recover, Sol swung her arm out in front of her, sending forth a 20-foot-high wall of moving fire at her two opponents, who both put their arms out in front of themselves and tucked their heads behind them. Both Thor and The Morrigan grunted with a stinging sensation as they endured through the wall of fire. They put their guards down and glared at Sol, whose power had grown significantly after taking excessive damage.
"So, she's getting serious too…" Thor huffed to the Morrigan, who only exhaled with exhaustion.
"I don't know why she's all riled up… I've taken the most damage and I'm still standing…"
Thor eyed his hammer, which was sparking with weak lightning. His power was still halved, and he couldn't go any higher even if he wanted to. This put him at a disadvantage, as the Sol and The Morrigan could still increase their power. The Thunder God grinded his teeth, sweat trickling down the side of his face.
"I don't know how I can keep up with these gals. That spell the Morrigan set on me really messed me up! There's gotta be a way I can break it. If my power stays halved, these two will overpower me and knock me out in seconds! But… I know I can stay in this if I can just manage to get my full level of energy back…"
Thor looked up, he watched as Sol shot forward, instantly breaking the sound barrier. She punched the Morrigan using all her momentum, a powerful boom erupting from the force of the impact. Thor's eyes widened as he could literally feel the force of a punch that didn't even hit him. He watched as the Morrigan slammed into a nearby plateau, and was about to fall to the ground, but wasn't allowed to do so. A bright, fiery inferno engulfed the Phantom Queen as she was pinned to the stone wall by a huge fireball. The ball exploded and shook the ground a bit as the Morrigan was buried under huge boulders and chunks of debris.
Suddenly, Thor's hammer sparked with its full radiance. The Thunder God's body became surrounded by an aura of unbelievable amounts of electricity, so much of it in fact that it was pouring out from his body, crackling and sizzling the air and ground around him. His eyes lit up with a white glow as he raised his hammer in the air, a bolt of lightning striking it as his power returned to him. Sol covered her eyes from the bright light as she felt the dramatic spike in Thor's energy.
"So that was it! A high enough amount of damage was the key to breaking her spell! That makes sense now… If she's too worried and distracted by the pain and discomfort of enemy attacks… She can't focus enough to maintain the effects of the spell, since it was placed on me by a clone, not her. Thanks for the helping hand, Sol. Isn't it a bit ironic? Since you were the one who told me not to help out an enemy." Thor grinned.
Sol clenched her fists and shook with anger. "So you're back at normal power, huh? Well, show me what you got, oh mighty son of Odin!"
Thor let out a short yell as he flew up into the air and shot blasts of lightning at the Sun Goddess that moved like bright flashes. The movements required to dodge were a combination of anticipation, guessing, and split-second reactions. Sol bobbed and weaved through the bolts and let out a huge yell of effort as she launched a strong flaming kick at Thor's face.
"GAH!" Thor yelled out as he launched back, zipping through the sky and colliding into a mountain, destroying it completely. Huge pieces of rock splashed into the water as the top half of the mountain was annihilated. The kick's force was so great that it kept Thor moving, shooting straight through the first mountain and into a second, which managed to stay in shape thanks to the help of the first slowing down the hurdling God's speed. A massive eruption of dust detonated upon Thor's initial contact with the mountain's face. He let out a painful groan as he began to plunge into the water, but before he could allow himself to fall, a streak of fire lasered through the air. With the appearance of a bright meteor and the speed of a comet, Sol slammed into Thor and drove him into the surface of the ocean. The speed was so great, that instead of falling into the ocean, the surface tension of the water caused the bodies of the two Gods to bounce up off the water, giving the surface of the ocean an even greater durability than solid ground itself.
"Glaaaugh!" Thor gut out, his saliva flailing from his mouth. He shot up into the air, Sol tailing him with great speed. He gained control and boosted forward, both Gods giving rise to huge rifts of water as they shot along its surface. Sol swerved to the left and slammed Thor into yet another mountain, water and rock colliding together and causing another massive detonation of matter. Sol pushed Thor along, drilling him straight through the entire base of the mountain. The two Gods shot out with a huge blast of light, stone from the mountain flying beside them in the air. Sol grabbed onto Thor tightly and swung him into the stone, the Thunder God harshly colliding with the rocks and bouncing back to Sol, like a rubber ball. Sol repeated this process multiple times, and because they were so close to the water, waves and waterspouts of force gave the air a misty feeling.
"KAH! Sol—GUH! GIVE ME—DAUH! Time to…RECOVER—AUUH!"
Sol kicked Thor back into the mountain for the sixth time, his skull cracking into the stone. The Sun Goddess didn't let up. She flew to him, maintaining her speed of sound. She grabbed Thor's head and drove it along the face of the mountain, scathing and forcing it along before relentlessly ripping it out from its deep crevice in the mountain. Huge chunks of rock exploded from the force of the pull, Thor's face covered in bruises, bloody scrapes, and dirt. Finally, the Thunder God grew tired of being bashed and thrown around. He roared out in power, pushing Sol back with his raw energy. He shot his hammer forward, slamming it right into Sol's gut faster than she could react. The Sun Goddess let out a horrible shriek was she was sent shooting backwards, crashing into the surface of the water and being sent back up. She flipped up and recovered, coughing out puffs of deep black smoke. She looked up and gasped, Thor tailing her with his hammer in hand, lighting bolts prepared to rain down on her.
"Oh crap… Oh crap!"
Sol turned to run. She took off with a loud sonic boom, Thor quickly increasing his speed to tail her. The two Gods flew along the surface of the blue ocean, water kicking up behind them in beautiful arc and splashes. Sol dodged to left, right, right again, left, right a third time, and then left again. She gasped and yelped with every movement, watching as the lightning hit the ocean's surface mere inches away from where her body just was. She sensed a bolt that was heading straight for her, one she couldn't dodge. She turned around for a split second and cancelled it out with a quick burst of fire, causing a split-second smokescreen in front of her. During that split second, Thor launched into Sol's body, his electrocuted hammer leading the blow. This time, despite even greater speed, the surface tension of the water's surface broke, and both Gods plunged into the water with a huge splash that triggered massive waves that crashed onto shore.
"You think you've got power!? Witness the strength of the God of Thunder!" Thor yelled loudly, his voice ringing out through the water and throughout the entire landscape. He thrust his hammer into Sol's body with his full power, causing her body to shoot straight through the water, sending her directly to the bottom of the ocean floor. Even with all the water pressure and massive resistance, the Sun Goddess' body torpedoed through thousands of feet of water, slamming into the crust of the planet. Thor raised his hammer into the air and called forth upon the storm clouds above. With one huge flash from the heavens, hundreds of powerful bolts of lightning struck the water, instantly electrocuting a couple hundred square miles of the ocean.
Sol's body was cooling down, which meant bad news. The water, the water pressure, the massive amount of damage, and unbearable amounts of electricity caused the Goddess to release cries of true pain, water entering her mouth and weakening her fire essence. The Goddess' heart was beating out of control, and she could feel herself dying. She couldn't see two feet in front of her, for no light from the sun could reach down to the bottom of the ocean. The only light she had was the light from her own body, which was quickly fading to the oppressive odds that were all not in her favor. She flailed around and held her throat, the electricity dealing more and more damage by the second, the water killing her fire essence by the second, and the time left to escape was running out by the second. The scared Sun Goddess' life flashed before her eyes.
With a last-ditch effort, she raised her power to its limit, its ultimate maximum. She begged for Thor to allow this to happen, for no more attacks to interrupt her, for if they did, she would surely die before being able to cry out for help. Her core lightened up with a bright light, and her body began to heat up again. She kept increasing her energy, more and more. Her body kept getting hotter and hotter. The water around her began to evaporate, smoke and vapor surrounded the Goddess along with her flaming aura. Like a water volcano, her heat was causing the water to turn to gas, while still surrounded by liquid. With a final yell, Sol's body became hotter than the sun.
Up above ground, The Morrigan and Thor were at each other's throats. The Morrigan grabbed onto Thor's sparking body and flew him back to land, driving him straight into the ground and creating a ravine using his body alone. She kicked his body into the air and punched it forward into a mountain, splitting it straight in half with a massive eruption of stone. Thor slowly got back onto his feet after being punched through an entire mountain. He slowly flew back into the air, his eyes widening at the horrid sight he saw before him. During his sequence with Sol, the Morrigan had been creating an army of clones to overpower and overwhelm him and the other Goddess, a dirty but smart plan.
"You're at your full power, Thor! Then I shall go at my max as well! It's about time the Gods display their true strength!" The Morrigan laughed. She clutched her fists and let out a cry of utter omnipotence. Her energy rose to a stunningly high level, Thor himself staring with shock. An angry aura of energy surrounded the Morrigan as the wind and ocean around the area began to go berserk. The storm clouds above shifted in circles, making a spiral in the sky. The ocean grew angry and restless, huge waves and endless lightning bolts was all that could be seen. The wind was heavy, the hair of both gods flowing in the cold air.
"I'm impressed, Morri. I didn't think you possessed such a potent amount of power. Here I was thinking you were a Goddess that relied on trickery, dark spells, and strong magic to fight… But no, I was wrong. The level of godly energy I can feel radiating from you… Is definitely something I wasn't expecting." Thor admitted, a small smile on his face.
"Oh, yes. A god cannot be a god without a fair amount of raw strength. Any mere human can learn witchcraft and magic. But to be a god… One must be far more than that." The Phantom Queen replied, her aura radiating small purple particles of godly energy.
With blinding speed, the Morrigan shot her arm out, sending forth a powerful beam of pure energy. Thor was barely able to put his arms out in front of it and block it, but he underestimated its force, and began to get pushed back. He grit his teeth together and pushed back, slowly beginning to yell with effort. He let out a shout of despair as he shot electricity into the blast, blowing it up with a large display of smoke. Expecting a blow to be coming through the smokescreen, Thor put his guard up in front of himself. Unexpectedly, the blow he was anticipating came from below him. He felt his jaw shatter as the Morrigan's fist shot straight into it, sending him shooting straight up into the sky, with a huge direct blast of untamed, wild energy blasting him straight after. The Morrigan's energy powered uppercut completely annihilated Thor, his body going limp as he coughed out a bit of blood. His armor and clothing was torn and burnt from blasts of fire and energy, his body was smoking from the blast he had just taken, and his body was aching with excessive amounts of damage. High up in the sky, he began to fall back down. As he fell, he opened his eyes, letting out a grunt of fear as the Morrigan shot straight up into his face, her fist digging into his cheek, sending him even further up into the sky. He shot through a few dozen clouds, clearing the skies with circular holes in the clouds.
Thor flipped and thrashed in the sky, trying to recover his sense of direction. As he finally fixed himself, he halted completely, watching as the Morrigan flew up right in front of him. The two began to rapidly cuff, jab, kick, and deck one another, their punches and heavy blows causing visible and audible shockwaves in the sky. Down below, Sol erupted from the depths of the ocean, searching for her opponents. As she finally picked up on their energy levels high up above in sky, she had an idea. She could see the shockwaves and waves of force from her two fellow Gods locked in a melee high up in the sky. She closed her eyes and concentrated, calling forth the power of the sun itself. Summoning a spire of flame around her body, she began to emanate with an undying light. She could feel her forces, her powers all coming together, her voice crying out for them to unite, her radiance so bright, it enlightened the other side of the world, brightening their cold, dark night. As the sun began to blaze, she giggled to herself, knowing that this was the ultimate fight. As she opened her eyes, that were now shining brightly, she put her hands together and exhaled, securing her attack.
Thor and the Morrigan could see the light. They looked down and knew that Sol had reemerged. But suddenly, the entire world became brighter. Both Gods turned to the sky, where the Sun was blazing hot. A single spot of the Sun was pure white, brighter than the rest of the mighty star. As both Gods realized the incoming attack, they exchanged glances, their auras expanding and becoming more intense than before. Down below, Sol's bright torch, her spire of flame, could be seen. Her powerful voice reached the ears of the two other Gods, striking a sense of deep ecstasy into their hearts.
"Solar…Flare!"
Coming straight from the core of the Sun and hurdling through the solar system at the speed of light, the biggest, more powerful blast of fire shot towards the Earth. Thor and the Morrigan turned to face the huge beam together. Thor put his arms out in front of him, charging up a high concentration of lightning and electricity of high voltage and power. The Morrigan cupped her hands and charged a flashing blast of pure energy, the sphere growing brighter and bigger. As the Solar Flare entered the atmosphere, Thor and the Morrigan could no longer look at it directly. Both let out two ultimate yells of pure power and strength straight from the bottoms of their hearts. Thor and the Morrigan shot forward massively powerful beam of lightning and energy respectively. The two beams merged and mixed, becoming one large blast of power. Sol grit her teeth as the Solar Flare collided with the attacks of her two allies. All three deities were locked in the ultimate struggle. Their yells and shouts were made from pure, raw emotion that came from deep inside their stomachs.
All three of them made one final big push to end it all, emptying their energy reserves and putting all of their power into a single movement.
The whole world felt the massive explosion. The wind flow became irregular, the oceans became angry, the ground shook, and the sun seemed brighter than usual, while at the same time… It looked exhausted.
As the Morrigan and Thor both fell back to the Earth and fell into the ground from exhaustion, two minor explosions of dust covered the craters they landed in. Sol's energy rapidly faded, the Solar Flare being her ultimate attack, she was left worn out. Her body grew dull and faint, like a firefly's light. She slowly hovered back to land and collapsed.
All three Gods were back in the valley. All three of them were far too exhausted too continue fighting. None of them could move enough to reach the healing pots. What could they do besides wait a few hours for the pain to fade, for the exhaustion to deplete, and for their energy to refill? Luckily, a glowing white figure came into their visions, providing the healing pots to their lips. As each of them drank and recovered, they all looked to see who it was.
"You three had quite the match. I was watching the entire time! Though… It got a little too crazy at the end there. Sol, please be more careful with that Solar Flare attack. If it wasn't for Thor and Morri, who stopped the attack with their own combined attack, the Earth might've taken some serious damage. Please take that into account. But otherwise… You all looked like you had fun, right?" The white, heavenly figure said in a soft, beautiful voice.
Thor, Sol, and the Morrigan all exchanged glances and nodded. They all watched with widened eyes and open mouths as the white figure's light faded away, revealing who it really was. Before them stood the daughter of Zeus himself, Athena. One of the most powerful Gods of them all, Athena had been watching over them, sensing the inevitability of the encounter before it even occurred.
The charming Goddess of Wisdom was holding her spear and shield. She winked at the three other Gods and smiled.
"Are any of you up for a round two? You three versus me! It's been a while since I myself have been able to have some fun. Don't hold anything back, I'm sure I can take whatever you three throw at me!" Athena giggled.
The heartbeats of the three other Gods increased immediately. Wide grins spread across their faces as they nodded. The four Gods slowly rose into the sky. With the mood set, weapons at the ready, and energy levels ready to skyrocket, the fight was ready to start.
Athena got into position with a smirk. "Alright… Let's do this!"
Thor, Sol, and the Morrigan got into position. With anxious, but excited smiles on their faces, all three of them spoke simultaneously:
"Alright, we'll give you our all!"
"Ready… Set… BEGIN!"
I hope anyone who made it to the end enjoyed it! If you did, please let me know by leaving a review! I'll be updating this story from time to time with more fight sequences, just a little BTW.
Though, you should expect that updates will be sporadic and inconsistent, as I will only update this story when I'm bored and feel like writing something cool. Anyways, till the next fight. Have a good one!
